Nowhere is the mid-20th century ''historiographical revolution'' in Irish history better represented than in the writings
of J.G. Simms, one of the most prolific historians of this generation. In a stream of books and papers from the early 1950s
to his death in 1979, Simms tackled some of the most vexed and vexing questions in all Irish history: the wars, confiscations,
persecutions and politics of the later 17th century. Topics such as Cromwell''s sieges, the ''Glorious Revolution'' and its
aftermath, the later passage of the infamous ''penal laws'' against Catholics are all episodes close t

Parliament between 1660 and 1707. This new listing entirely supersedes the 1979 Register of Parliamentary Lists, containing

"The wars and revolutions of seventeenth-century Ireland established in power a ruling class of Protestant landowners whose
culture and connexions were traditionally English, but whose interests and political loyalties were increasingly Irish. At
first unsure of their self-image and ambivalent in their loyalties, they gradually became more confident and developed a distinctive
notion of 'Irishness'. The Anglo-Irish Experience explores the religious, intellectual and political culture of this new elite
during a period of change and adjustment. D.W. Hayton traces both the shifting sense of national identity characteristic of
the period and the changing stereotype of the Irish in English popular literature - which did much to push the 'Anglo-Irish'
to embrace their Irish heritage. He also argues for the emergence of a pragmatic, constructive form of political 'patriotism',
linked closely to the prevailing ideology of economic 'improvement' and underpinned by the influence of evangelical Protestantism.
A key feature of the book is the use made of case studies of individuals and families: the decay of the Ormond Butlers, undermined
by debt and eventually driven into political exile; the rise and fall of the Brodricks, gentlemen lawyers with a strong provincial
power-base; the political journey of the politician and political writer Henry Maxwell, from 'commonwealth whig' ideologue
to ministerial hack; and the relationship between Sir John Rawdon, a pious and intellectual squire, and his estate agent Thomas
Prior, pamphleteer and apostle of 'improvement'. These and other narratives illustrate the variety and complexity of the 'Anglo-Irish'
experience in a period that witnessed the foundation of what would in due course come to be known as the 'Protestant nation'.
Early modern British and Irish historians will find this book invaluable."--Publisher's website

This pioneering exploration of the phenomenon of the composite state in Eighteenth-century Europe employs a comparative approach
to sustain the case for the inclusion of Ireland within this interpretative framework. Written by acknowledged experts, the
collection uniquely combines the findings of new research on Ireland with broader syntheses of some of the major composite
states of Europe. With accounts of the pays d'etat of Burgundy (Julian Swann) and Languedoc (Stephen J. Miller) in France,
on the Hungarian diet and Austria (Orsolya Szakaly) and Poland-Lithuania (Richard Butterwick), and of Irish confessional (James
Kelly, David Hayton), financial (C.I. McGrath), improving (Andrew Sneddon) and security (Neal Garnham) legislation, as well
as a reflective introduction and conclusion setting the essays in their wider historical and interpretative context, this
collection both amplifies understanding of the nature of the European composite state and of the deliberations of the Irish
parliament. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of eighteenth-century European and Irish history
